Most of the places all over the world have been put on quarantine or lockdown. With this, addressing our basic needs and satisfying our cravings seem to be a little harder especially when you live in remote towns or sandwiched by towns/cities with stricter border policies.

As we observe intensive physical distancing, it will be a challenge to resist the urge to go out or to buy the things we need and crave. But with the help of technology and innovation, Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc. (GCash) partnered with several stores to help address our quarantine needs and cravings.

Are you running out of options? Are you having problems looking for cashless stores? Are you tired of the same-old online sellers? Worry no more! Whether it be groceries, skincare, or even a good milk tea fix, here are several online gems to save you from your quarantine woes.

THE CATCH? They’re all cashless! Thanks to GCash!

#1 FoodPanda, GrabFood, LalaFood

Miss eating out? These food delivery apps are everybody’s quarantine best friend! It’s essentially the entire world of food packaged in an app. Perfect for those working and studying at home during the ECQ, meals can be delivered right at your doorstep (or gate) with just a few taps on your smartphone. Instead of spending hours thinking of what food to prepare and cook, you have the option to have someone prepare your meals for you. You will also be helping them earn, especially during this time. Win-win!

To use GCash, you can link your GCash Mastercard to your account under the “My Linked Accounts” tab in the GCash app! You can download FoodPanda, GrabFood, and LalaFood in GooglePlay for Android and the App Store for iOS.
